    Line reels are used often. The problem is laying the line and where the line goes once it's off the reel. In zero viz, you can follow a line right into a bulkhead if it slips into a broken seam or crack.

    It sounds like you and I might know some of the same people. They have been diving up you way for a long time!
    I just looked at my PADI card. July 79' and I was diving without a card since '75 or so. I haven't been in the water for about 6 years now, so I think my stuff needs a little work. My last real dive-not including changing props and zincs and stuff was the Relief. It's small but it is completely intact. I'm getting the itch I think.

    Always wanted to get into diving. Alas, I'm afraid I'm too shot out to start now.

    Thanks for the refresher, My diving was in fresh water, PADI card went out years ago..I really got the bug to go while i was down in the caymen islands.we had to settle for going down in a submarine, the visability was very nice and the fish were just thick...Even as Senior I may go down again in the future..

    We used to have an 80ish year old guy who when diving on the boat. His last dive was after his 90th and he stopped voluntarily. If you use the "too old" description it may not be too late...

    I'd be buggering myself if I tried something like this.
